Looks like COLD RAIN for our area tomorrow…I have everything in place and ready to go. I will be at the range around 9:00AM. I plan on being at the range most of the day….If the rain leaves quickly….And we are not under water. I am all about SHOOTING….Maybe everything will work out. See you all tomorrow….if you dare!!!!!! 🙂

Round count will be somewhere between 60-80rnds. min…All falling steel…lots of it!!!!!!!!!!! Due to the large number of shooters and the amount of falling steel to be reset after each and every shooter…We will have a Par-Time for the COF/Stages. We will be on the Trap range…..Both sides of the lower section.

Thank you Scott , great job posting the scores . Thanks to all of our RSO staff (Brandon,Dan,David B.,Doug,Jim,Mike B. & Team Nevco)…..and to all that came out to shoot and help with reset and cleaning up (Albert , JD and others) along with safety !

We are planning on having a Match on the 29th of this month…Last Sat.,just before Halloween!!!!!!
